Question:
I am wanting to rent this piece of equipment from a local rental company. Unfortunately the company could not tell me the diameter of each tyne or the spacing on center for the tynes. I need to have these specifications so that I can determine the volume of soil being removed per square foot so that I can determine how much top-dress to use after removing the plugs. I appreciate your help and am looking forward to trying this product.
Answer:
